When an unknown illness first appeared in China at the end of 2019, little did we know how devastating its impact on the whole world would be. Countries around the world went into lockdown to try and stem the spread of covid-19. Livelihoods have been damaged, careers ended, infrastructure disrupted.

And so in this edition of the Global Safety Podcast we’ll be looking at ways in which we can engineer ways to safeguard against future pandemics. Tom Heap is joined by a panel of experts hoping to find ways to extinguish the fire in the belly of the covid dragon: Professor Richard Clegg, Dr Juliet Mian, Dr Neil Dhir and Dr Claire Pekcan. Each has their own take on how we can prevent future pandemics from bringing the planet to its’ knees.

The Global Safety Podcast explores how engineers and scientists are making the world a safer place.

We face colossal challenges today; challenges that threaten the lives of millions of people. Each day 6,300 people die in workplace accidents and 420,000 people a year die from foodborne diseases. Many of these deaths are avoidable.

The Global Safety Podcast investigates the biggest safety issues facing the planet and looks at the latest science and innovations being developed to safeguard our future in an unpredictable world. How can we feed a growing population, whilst still ensuring that food is safe to eat? And how can we keep people safe with more and more robots in the workplace and driverless cars soon to become a reality?
